From its initial adoption as one of the choices for local area networks within an office, Ethernet has grown to be the most widely used LAN protocol in the world today. Coupled with the Internet Protocol, a global best effort network has been built that is driving the information age. It has always been a dream of the service provider to support all their voice, video and data services on a single economic, ubiquitous network. In the late 1980's, ATM emerged as the fundamental broadband converged services model although could never reach the price point for Ethernet connectivity. Since then, Ethernet has evolved into a network technology that supports quality of service, a critical feature for true service convergence.

Ethernet is fast approaching the point when it will be the only technology of choice for metropolitan optical networks. As customers and service providers alike move to IP based voice and video services, the dream of a single, economic, reliable and feature rich network becomes a reality. DZhoN's heritage in the development and deployment of multi service networks and thorough understanding of the underlying technologies ensures our clients can deploy advanced Ethernet and IP based networks to provide differentiated, broadband services to their customers.
